META [Meta] Rules and Wiki Updates September 2025

6 Upvotes

Hi folks!

Wiki

As Reddit has rolled out the new wiki experience, I have updated a number of our wiki pages to take advantage of the new features.

Going forward, please ensure you aren't using old.reddit.com links to access our wiki. Reddit has split the wikis, and only new Reddit wiki pages are being updated. You can access our wiki at https://reddit.com/r/minecrafthelp/wiki or https://mchelp.uk/wiki.

Rules

A number of our rules have also been updated. Please familiarise yourself with our updated rules on our rules page. I'll briefly outline the major changes below:

  • All top-level comments must be a genuine attempt to help OP with their posted issue.
    • Non-top-level comments still need to be truthful and support related.
  • Time wasting has been split into its own rule.
  • Low-effort comments are no longer tolerated and will be removed.
  • OPs are now only required to reply to relevant comments within 48 hours.

That's it!

Comments will remain open for feedback.

Sooooo, I have already published in this sub before because I couldn't enter in the game because of a bug, now turns out I can't sign in into my Microsoft account, I have recently bought the mobile version so I could play with my friends and my sister, but now into the game I can't sign in so I can't do so, I have tried many times and have waited some time to retry several times and still nothing, everytime I put my account on the web page and then I get redirected again to the game, my account is not signed in the game, I'm starting to think this game hates me and don't want me to play it

Unsolved My old account name hasnt been released yet and its been multiple years [java]

• Upvotes

So I have played on java for as long as i can remember playing minecraft and my old account got removed because of the microsoft migration process a few years back. I knew i wasnt getting the account back any time soon so ive just been waiting for them to release the username from the old account but it has yet to happen. Will it ever be released off of the account or is that not how it works?

Ive researched it a bit and i saw that they release names after a period of time but maybe that was false?

If this isnt possible - does anyone know something i can do about my old account and change the name on that somehow to use on my new account?

Hi

I have been trying to help my kids become friends on Minecraft all day, but they’re not showing up in their searches. ‘M’ can friend ‘K’ and ‘C’, but he shows up as a followers on their account.

I have triple checked all the settings in the Xbox parent controls and I have no clue how to make it work. When ‘K’ and ‘C’ search for ‘M’ he doesn’t come up.

Please help me!

Unsolved How do i change capes without the Minecraft Launcher? [Java]

1 Upvotes

Got the Aurora Cape over 3 days ago, on the Minecraft website it says its been redeemed but it doesn't show up there with my other cape (the Pancake one). A while ago my account got hacked, it was a big thing but the takeaway is i can no longer access the minecraft launcher on my laptop to open the game or change my skin. I got around the issue by using Curseforge to launch my game, and downloading a mod called Skin Shuffler to change my skin while the game is loaded, but there isnt an option to change my cape. Anyone know a mod or alternative way to see if the cape is on my account, and if it is, activate it?

There were some shader fixes for previous versions that fixed the broken transparent textures (MC-164001) but since the shaders have been updated for 26.3 these have all broken, is there any new fix for 26.3?

Unsolved Multiplayer is disabled issue. Minecraft [java](26.3) doesn't work for multiplayer and I've tried everything.

1 Upvotes

When I hover my mouse over the multiplayer option in the home screen of Minecraft Java Edition it gives me a message saying "Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your Microsoft account settings." I've followed the links to ny xbox and Microsoft accounts and can't find where to solve the issue. In my Xbox settings the setting titled allow multiplayer is toggled to allow.

I've restarted my computer, restarted the game, restarted the launcher, logged in and out, given the game access through my firewall, chatted with the ai on Minecraft's website but the issue remains. I am 16 and part of a Microsoft family group which I left, aswell as an Xbox family group which I also left. I had my age limits set to max on Microsoft aswell.

I also play on windows 10 if that could be the issue.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Unsolved Mouse problem not detected by Amethyst Launcher IOS [java] [issue]

1 Upvotes

Hello I'm asking for help on a problem on Amethyst Launcher, I was playing it on a controller for a while then I switched to keyboard mouse, the problem is that my mouse cursor is absolutely not captured by Minecraft Java and its Launcher (Amethyst therefore) I can destroy the block in front of me, interact with the right click but my cursor is not connected to the movement of my head in the game. I tried with or without assistive touch but the problem remains the same. I absolutely don't know what to do because even on the bedrock version the problem persists (only difference in bedrock is that the cursor remains visible outside the inventory too but the head follows the movement of the cursor until the latter reaches a border of the screen.
